The New Car Dealership Deal Hack
You could spend a year working in a new car dealership and still not know half of what the general manager may know. As a consumer, though, you don’t have to know everything. You just have to know you’re getting a reasonable deal. The easy way to shop and negotiate is to arm yourself with a few tools.
What you need:
Invoice Prices
Dealership locations
Quotes
How to get them:
Invoice Prices
The invoice price of a vehicle is difficult to find. It is very useful, though. The invoice price is the cost to the dealer. It’s what the dealer pays for the vehicle. That’s right, Honda sells cars to your local Honda dealership before they are sold to you. The invoice price gives you an idea of how low you can go, in terms of sale price. The dealer can still profit if he sells at the invoice price but he, of course, wants to earn more. Here at BuyingAdvice.com, you get invoice prices when you request quotes. Read the “Quotes” section to learn more.
Locations
Your dealership locations are easy to find online, with a quick search. The thing is, you don’t need to worry about it yet. It’s easier to get quotes and, in the process, get the addresses of the dealers. Don’t call or email any dealers before you get quotes. Because, well, they’ll probably just ask you to go to their office. The hardest part on the salesperson is getting you in the door, so don’t make it too easy.
There’s the question of how to get quotes easily and there’s also the question of how to use them to your advantage. First, let’s discuss how to use them. It’s not very complicated. Simply use quotes as leverage in your negotiations. If dealer 1 offers the best quote and dealer 2 offers the second best, go to dealer 2 and notify a salesperson about dealer 1’s quote. Dealer 2 should be willing to work with you in order to outdo dealer 1.
Now, here’s the best way to get quotes. You can have them delivered to your email inbox. We query dealers in your area, whichever you choose, and have quotes sent to you in moments. With your quotes, you get the invoice prices of the vehicles you’re interested in, as we stated earlier. When you get quotes this way, you don’t have to visit dealerships and waste time sitting in the showroom or viewing cars you’re not interested in.
Makes sense, right? We also want to point out that quotes from BuyingAdvice.com are free. We don’t charge for them and there is no obligation to buy anything once you’ve received them. Click here to learn more.
